Adolescent Kit training package for programme leaders

Highlights

In some cases, programme coordinators preparing to use the Adolescent Kit may find it helpful to organize a preparatory workshop to support the managers, trainers, facilitators, and other volunteers or staff on their teams to explore, choose, adapt and use the Kit’s guides, tools, activities and supplies in a new or ongoing programme. The training package for the Adolescent Kit was developed for programme teams to use in a planning and training workshop:

• To train facilitators who will and lead activities with and for adolescents, upholding the principles and standards, and using the best practices and methods, of human rights-based approaches – equity, education, psychosocial support and protection.
• To develop and implement plans to utilize the resources in the Adolescent Kit, adapting and addressing their plans to the needs and priorities of adolescents with whom they work, and to their programme goals and objectives.

This training package includes this Training Guide for a workshop that includes five modules, in each of which programme teams collaborate, plan and prepare for different aspects of using the Adolescent Kit. The training package also includes one slide deck for each of the five modules. Programme coordinators can adapt and use these slide decks to plan and prepare for a training workshop that includes the following five topics:

Module 1: Overview of the Adolescent Kit for Expression

Module 2: Reaching and engaging adolescents

Module 3: Building adolescent circles

Module 4: Choosing and planning activity phases for adolescents

Module 5: Implementation and roll-out planning
